Sky box stuck on standby

Sky+ box was stuck on standby this morning. I did all the usual things, I unplugged in 10 minutes, did the software update, tried reformatting the hard drive but still no luck :( While I was onto the Sky helpline they were doing the usual 'sell them another contract' speech.

While I was onto the Sky helpline they were doing the usual 'sell them another contract' speech. A call out charge was going to set me back €100. They offered to just upgrade the box to HD for free and then pay €15 extra per month. I kept telling them I was not interested, he kept going off to talk to his supervisor..... Blah blah..
I eventually got the HD upgrade, they will repair and install my existing box upstairs with no charge for multi-room, he gave me €5 off the HD charge. So I got it all for €10 per month extra. Over the year that works out at €20 more than the call out charge and we finally have Sky upstairs. Not a bad deal.
